KABUL: As many as 27 policemen were killed and 40 injured after a bomb attack claimed by the Taliban struck a convoy of buses transporting police cadets in Kabul, the interior ministry said.
According to the details, the attack comes little over a week after 14 Nepali security guards who were heading to work at the Canadian embassy were killed in a massive blast that left their yellow minibus spattered with blood.
“We are still investigating the precise nature of the blast, whether it was suicide attack, car bomb or whatever we do not know it at the moment,” a senior interior ministry official said.
He added the attack occurred at around 11.00am (0630 GMT) as the buses were transporting the cadets in a western neighbourhood on the city’s outskirts.
